Ball’s outspoken father recently came out to say that he doesn’t want to see his son playing in New Orleans, saying the Phoenix Suns are a better fit.
For the Lakers, they are focussed on building a championship contender by bringing in other superstars to accompany LeBron James.
However, LaVar Ball believes the Lakers will be making a monumental disaster by trading his son.
“I told the Lakers a long time ago, if you trade my son it will be the worst thing you ever did,” Ball said on Skip and Shannon Undisputed.
“I guarantee you, they trade my son then they will never get a championship.
“Because what they’re trying to do is… get all these players thinking, ‘okay you’re going to win a championship’.
“They trying to do it like this where they getting all these players.
“It ain’t the players, it’s the coach.
“You don’t have the coach, you out of luck so you can get as many players as you want.
“If you don’t have a system, or you don’t understand what you’re getting ready to do, you’re not going to win. You can get everybody that’s good.
“LeBron James without Lonzo is not going to win a championship in L.A. I can guarantee that.”
